Afghanistan Postcard: Specialist Alexander Kelly

Specialist Alexander Kelly in the lab at the Troop Medical Center at Camp Phoenix.

VPR's Steve Zind is in Afghanistan with the Vermont National Guard. Among those he's met is a Specialist Alexander Kelly.

Kelly left a job working at a bar and grill in Essex to deploy to Afghanistan.

Now his experience there has him thinking about a new career. Kelly gave us a tour of his medical lab at Camp Phoenix in Kabul. It's part of the troop medical clinic staffed by a Vermont Guard brigade based in Winooski.
